But you don't know why. Because you have not understood the "law of biogenesis".
Learn first.

The first life forms on Earth came from the life of God.

Now, did you understand it?

God-did-it! 😀
Yes, we've heard that one before...
It could be the case but of course I am fully aware of this being total supposition and speculations.
The case for life origins is still very much up in the air, could go either way from life coming from life outside the solar system to the stuff of prebiotics coming from comets and asteroids and so forth or even just the energy and time available, literally a billion years in the development of early Earth, all that stuff coming from Earth itself with no input needed from Mars or any kind of Linus Pauling cloud of life stuff.
At this point in time we cannot A Priori disprove the "Goddidit" concept either so RJ is safe to rant for now.
Ten years from now, 20 years from now, that may not be the case....

I think you must be referring to miracles. Miracles are not supposed to make sense to us.
Oh yeah, then there is the 7 day creation tale, not even new to christianity but plagiarized from Egyptian mythology thousands of years older and just as fake a story then as it is now.
It makes PERFECT sense to me, that is, the whole thing is 100% made up by men to control other men, build a political powerhouse and put down women. That is the sum of it, that is the result built up over 2 thousand years.

There is a worldwide tradition among natives of a global flood.
An analysis of population growth statistics confirms that there was near zero population at the estimated time of the end of the flood.
Human palaeontological evidence exists even in the earliest geologic 'ages' (eg human footprints in Cambrian, Carboniferous, and Cretaceous rocks).
The glacial period started very quickly. This would require a cataclysmic event such as a global flood to trigger such a rapid climatic change.
Studies show that much of the world's folded beds of sediment, even sediment thousands of meters thick, have no compression fractures, indicating that they were contorted while they were still wet and soft.
There is an absence of physical evidence that indicates a time change between rocks of 'successive ages'. Sedimentary rock layers worldwide appear to have been laid down very quickly, as by a global flood.
Globally, there is an almost complete absence of any evidence of animal and plant root activity within the tiny layers of sediment. Slowly deposited layers should show this activity, flood deposits wouldn't.
All types of rocks (eg limestone, shale, granite, etc) occur in all geologic 'ages'. This indicates a common formation on a global scale - the situation that would have been created by the mixing of sediment in a global flood.
The burial of fossil deposits worldwide had to have occurred in a catastrophic event like a worldwide flood.
Marine fossils can be found on the crests of mountains. Apart from mountain uplifting, this can also be explained as the marine animals being washed there and then buried. A global flood could do this.
There is a worldwide distribution of most of the fossil types, indicating transportation on a global scale by a global flood.
Worldwide, fossils from different 'ages' are often found in the wrong order. This indicates a global mixing of fossils as a consequence of a global flood.
Dinosaurs and many other prehistoric creatures died out suddenly. A catastrophe such as a global flood could have produced this result.
Polystrate fossils that are found worldwide indicate turbulent or rapid deposition. A global flood would be required to do this worldwide.
Polystrate fossils also form when water-logged timber sinks in a large body of water. A year long global flood could produce worldwide polystrate fossils formed in this way.
Raised shorelines are found worldwide indicating a time when the world had a different sea level. A consistent interpretation of this is that a global flood altered the levels of the oceans and seas.
Mountain-high water level marks found throughout the world are consistent with the recession of a global flood.
Hydrologic evidence points to the world's sedimentary rocks being deposited in one continuous episode. All the layers could have been laid down by a single event, such as a global flood.
Hydrologic experiments show that flowing sediment automatically settles out in distinct layers. Therefore, sedimentary rock layers can be just as easily explained as flood debris, as slow deposition.

Floods have effects that go way beyond sedimentation but you knew that so there is no use even talking about it.
